[OS X TeX] Functionality for collaborative work

[Gerben Wierda]

For a frontend to support this, it would need an extended document/ 
file structure (e.g. wrapper) which would have to keep track of  
changes instead of writing just a situation. Som sort of support for  
compiling that into output a la Word with visible document history  
would then be possible in principle but it would also need some TeX  
macro support.

Looks like a nice project for Jérôme and iTeXMac
